I just transitioned from an old, steel, hybrid to a steel road bike. The smoothness of the ride on the road bike is similar to the hybrid, except that I feel the bigger bumps with the skinny tires more than I did on the hybrid.
I've read a lot of complaints on this forum about the harshness & road chatter on an aluminum bike. Have you considered looking for a used steel or carbon road bike? Your $1,500 would probably buy a nicer ride if you go used.
